The Lake Wendouree House by John Wardle Architects blends contemporary design with its historic lakeside context in Ballarat. Intersecting volumes frame views of the lake, while timber and brick façades harmonize with the natural surroundings.

This visual study shows on the project’s stages of construction focusing on a section of the building. It highlights how materiality and structural detailing evolved to achieve its seamless integration with the site. Inside, the house balances communal openness with private retreats, using layered spaces and natural light to enhance flow. The design’s thoughtful progression from concept to completion underscores John Wardle Architects’ mastery of craft and context.
